Mayor Coleen J. Seng will attend the graduation ceremony for the Youth S.E.R.V.E program at
2 p.m. Friday, March 16 at the Park Teen Center, 855 South 8th Street. The Youth Service
Education and Recreation Volunteer Experience is a pilot program that provides training for
students in sixth through eighth grades. The 12 initial graduates will be certified to
volunteer at day camp programs for elementary school students offered through the Parks
and Recreation Department.

Students who expressed an interest in volunteering with the Parks and Recreation
Department were invited to submit written applications for the program. S.E.R.V.E.
participants are trained in leadership, communication skills, teamwork, goal-setting
and safety practices through a day camp/work experience under the guidance and supervision
of trained recreation staff.
